lyrics

The sands of time as a tomb
Salvation’s sarcophagi
The wisdom from the ancients
Inherited from the gods

Breathing their visions anew
In primeval stone and scroll
As constellations of supernovae
Blind the nocturnal skies

Our tree of knowledge shall become light itself
The light to end all shadows

The hands of History are reason’s womb
For as the end of times is nigh
As pretence for sapience, enchants
Elated against all odds

Yet, we all must pay our dues
For the lies we once extolled
The time for innocence is over
With days foregone as the antidote of lies
Our tree of knowledge shall become light itself
The light to end all shadows
The beacon of hope amids the morrows chaos
The light to end all shadows

All knowledge to us bequeathed
In voices from the years of yore
Teaches us the ways of honour
Engraved by the hands of hope

Through the eyes of secular pain
We see our future set aflame
Powerless to intervene
Armed with little more than faith

Those who refuse to learn from who
Came before
Have damned themselves as slaves
Unrepentant naïves
Ignorant of lore long forgone
As the key
To their ever desired
Eternal salvation

As Cabrakan shatters the soil
Coyopa shall bring forth the thunder
As Chaac and the Chicchan flood the world
Xibalba will devour what remains

The Gods are the One and the All
Yet when all act like gods,
There are no gods at all

All knowledge to us bequeathed
In voices from the years of yore
Teaches us the ways of honour
Engraved by the hands of hope

Through the eyes of secular pain
We see our future set aflame
Powerless to intervene
Armed with little more than faith
